[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[BTAxis]

Hi Meridian,
OXC allows you to re-order soldiers in the craft crew menu by using the mouse wheel on the up/down buttons. OXCE+ adds the same buttons to the main soldiers menu, but the mouse wheel does not work on these. Is it possible to add that functonality?

[khade]

I'm pretty sure that's already possible, it's in the settings.  But I could be wrong.

[BTAxis]

There is a setting, but it doesn't affect the buttons in the soldiers menu.

I didn't even know this was possible in OXC. I will add it...

Another humble request:
Could we get hotkey in most screens to open the ufopaedia. "u" isn't bound to much on many screens (buy/sell, for example) and it'd be nice sometimes to be able to consult it. The middle click giving a list of item use on the sell screen is great, btw.

Speaking of which, middle click on items in the stores menu (accessed from the base overview) currently does nothing. I think there's an opportunity there also.

@Meridian

i tried to compile your fork with VS2015 64 bit Release using your deps and latests YAML libs (5.3) yet still have errors.

What is latests manual to compile OXCE+ ?

Thanks

[Meridian]

It's still the same. Deps are 32bit, so better switch to 32bit Release.

[bladum]

thanks its working now.

Any Chance to have OXCE+ related strings added to download seperatly, not just bundled with Piratez mod ? Thanks

Yes, anybody can do that... we just need a volunteer.

Many of them are already in this thread, many can be found via "more info" links, and the rest is in the log file.

I think I encountered a bug with the night vision. When I hold space, the game switches to night vision mode but also cycles to the next soldier.
This is a bit odd already.
In addition, if I press the next soldier button while keeping space pressed then it cycles through the soldiers but leaves some out (even though they have full TUs).

This is with latest OXCE+ 3.3 from git.

Not a bug, it's that space is bound to both next soldier and the NV mode; rebind the key for one or the other in options.

[Eddie]

We should probably change the default key of nightvision or next soldier.

The sleep and wounded indicators on unconscious units are very useful.

Is it possible to define a 'burning indicator'?

I think I had a few unconscious units who burned to death, because I had no indicator.

Good point.
